Hooks,weights,swivels,clips you can never have enough of them.

When you do spend it don't let the tackle shop know you are using a voucher. Let them make up the bill first then produce the voucher. With that kind of money been spent the should give you a few € off. Let them see the voucher and it's top dollar for everything.

i was going to say "Give it to me".. but that might seem greedy on my part :wink: ..
but as Richie07 said.. you can never have enough terminal tackle...

Clothing. Jackets, waders and things wear out over time. Get yourself a decent wading jacket or something?

thats the problem, ive enough terminal tackle to fill a tackle shop (currently have 3 wallets full of rigs) have a pair of breathable waders and vision wading jacket. thinking about a nice bass rod. oh an i hardly ever buy bait bar squid, seems anawful waste of money when i can dig it or collect it for free.

Do you have to spend it by a certain date??

If not just keep it till you need it. Never know what could happen just around the corner.

possibly right there, theres probably no point just spending it for the sake of spending.

If it's going to expire and don't need anything you could try and sell it for less than its value...

What about a specialised lightweight lure rod for chucking plastic (not your typical spinning rod). This is really my wiish list, not yours!!

did what you could call the responsible thing by stocking up on terminal tackle, some bulk spools of line, a new anyfish rig wallet, few other bits and bobs and a nice pair of simms fingerless gloves

...Be careful with the Anyfish rig wallet ,bought one 2 weeks ago and the zip lock on the inserts is so strong that if u'r not careful when opening them they split the sides of the inserts,I've already split 2 :oops: (best to leave the insert slightly open)

what a predicament, i wish i had the same one mate, hope you enjoyed spending it

#19 Post by **lumpy** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 1:39 am

this is the pair, slightly heavy but very warm and comfortable. not the cheapest at 40e but in my view worth it

Cheers Lumpy,

look good but not exactly what I had in mind - am looking for what I think may be sailing gloves :? :P

the search goes on.....
